  1. Re:what's next? on Webby Awards Downsized To Virtual Event · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    look at the current poll (MPAA /RIAA verdict) and tell me if you see his name there

  2. battle bots on Desktop Laser Cutting/Engraving · · Score: 5, Funny

    after reading what the laser will cut through.. man i wish they could have one of those on a battle bot :-p

  3. hmmm on Real-time PC access on your PDA · · Score: 1

    I think the app is called VNC. has been out for years. works on all platforms.

  4. no such thing on Slashback: Folding, Cursing, Exporting · · Score: 4, Funny

    There are no AOL users on the Internet there will never be, never!. AOL users are commiting suicide at the gateways of the internet and we will contune to encourage more suicides. AOL has never had any share of the market and at the moment is a small stupid little company that has no power what so ever. AOL never distrubited CD's or floppies. The author of the article is a liar. These are lies! lies i tell you!

  5. as much as i like the on The Economist on The Rise of Linux · · Score: 3, Interesting

    economist.. i dont think MS is really a loser. Nor do i believe that anything else will be the dominant desktop OS. As much as we like to bash MS, they do do somethings right. Enough so that they will keep their customers. Heck sometimes they even make technological improvemsnts in their OS that others are just discovering. Look at all the research that went into Async IO in the open source world only to realise MS had done something better for nearly 10 years.

  6. bit torrent on Comparing Sci-fi Starship Sizes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    im starting to think that bittorrent should be built into all browsers for webpages....

  7. not your cutsey anime on Review: Cowboy Bebop · · Score: 1

    "MPAA Rating: R for some violent images. " from movies.yahoo.com holy shit. :-p -Anu

  8. Re:Makes Sense on Mozilla's Major New Roadmap · · Score: 1

    composer i believe is in accordenace with the view that tim bern-lee had of the web when he made it. The real definition of a web brower (by its inventor) is an app where you can view and *edit* web pages. As much as i hate composer myself. I have some idea why they keep it.

  9. dropped ball on Mozilla Project Turns 5 · · Score: 1

    i think mozilla while a great engine in geko dropped the ball.. the fact that apple chose khtml over geko is really something they shoudl think about. The mozilla team should have focused on getting something that *works well* out then adding features and not the other way around. oh yeah and the red star communst logo is really sad.

  10. bit torrent on Snag the Red Hat 9 ISOs, via Cash or BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    i use bit torrent alot to get my tv shows off the web really easily. My only problem is that i have ti use wine and the windows version. Even though it is an open source project and the python code is provided, it is a real pain use the linux client (really big too)
    too bad he didnt make something like wget so that it could be stuck into apps like kget

  11. new mysql on Introduction to PHP5 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    just came out too. a decent combination of better features. My only wish: that there was an easier way to do subselects. I knwo almost every one uses the php+mysql+apache combination when doing stuff on linux. I also know that many others like me are really pissd off about the whole subselects thing. I for one have written my own functions to do similar things in php. I knowmany others who have as well. Im sure php developers could produce a standard way of doing it and make it faster.. oh well

  12. hey! on Top Ten Dying Game Genres · · Score: 1

    "Who knows. The only thing we know for sure is that -- no matter what -- there will be some dork out there bitching and moaning about how great games used to be, and how they don't make them like they used to. "

    Thats ME!!!

  13. spirited away on Miyazaki's 'Spirited Away' Wins Best Animated Picture · · Score: 4, Interesting

    was the BEST movie that i saw in a long time. It had a wonderful story that appealed to adults and children. The cinematography was excellent as well. It too bad americans still make a distinction between animated movies and live action ones.

  14. correct me if i am wrong on R.I.P. Original iMac: 1998-2003 · · Score: 0

    but didnt apple also stop selling the new flatscreen imac? so are imacs now extinct?

  15. sub selects on MySQL 4 Declared Production-Ready · · Score: 4, Interesting

    any word on whether we have subselects yet. I couldnt see it in the change log. They are dearly missed..

  16. MOSAIC was NOT 1st on 10 Years of the World Wide Web · · Score: 2, Interesting

    that is wrong there was violla and even tin burns-lee's own NEXT browser.
    MOSAIC was promoted as the 1st graphical browser but that is factually wrong. I wasnt even the first major browser. Mosaic came years after the WWW

  17. Re:How could OpenSSL be vulnerable to security att on Remote RSA Timing Attacks Practical · · Score: 2, Funny

    if it makes you feel better, the TLS standard was a mix of MS PCT and SSL :)

  18. Palladium on Remote RSA Timing Attacks Practical · · Score: 1

    the bit about MS palladium being a security risk is very intersting also very ironic.

  20. Re:New Title: Benetton clothing to lose my busines on Benetton Clothing to Carry RFID Tags · · Score: 1

    umm .. depends on what kind of underwear that is. I can see girls prancing around in lacy underwear. ;)

  21. Re:Rogue "planet"s ? on Defining "Planet" · · Score: 1

    light is not the only source of energy possible you know. Technically some plant on some planet could develop a way to effeciently absorb heat and use that in a photosynthesis like process.
    the only reason plants use the visible range of light on earth is becasue that is the one that gets through the most.

  23. first CDE .. on Gnome 2.0 Officially Available For Solaris · · Score: -1, Troll

    the gnome. solaris seems to be bound to bad desktops. kde is far better and much more user friendly.
